Berkeley Country Club is a private course, so guest play is generally by invitation only or requires a member to host you. If you get the chance, expect a premium experience that justifies the cost-per-round, offering a classic design and unparalleled vistas you won't find elsewhere.

Absolutely, the views are a major highlight. Keep an eye out for the par-3 12th hole; it's a stunning downhill shot with the entire Bay spread out before you, and the finishing holes also offer incredible vistas as you head back to the clubhouse.

What's the post-round experience like at Berkeley Country Club, and what amenities should I look for?

After your round, head straight to the clubhouse patio. It boasts some of the best views on the property, perfect for a celebratory drink or a casual meal while you recount your shots and soak in the Bay Area scenery. It's a classic, relaxed atmosphere.
